Lobby Bar Gallery

I took this photo after a long drive from St. Louis the weekend of the Pulse Nightclub shooting. Michelle and I were both exhausted from the trip, but when I saw the Clinton Library Bridge lit up in honor of the victims, I knew I had to capture the moment.

#2 - Twisted

Model: Josh Wyatt

Sometimes the best photos happen when you least expect it, and that's definitely the case with this one. Josh wasn't posing at all for this picture - it's a test shot, and he was cracking his neck. Still, I love the way it turned out!

$175.00

#3 - Big Day

Model: Rosie Valdez Block

There's something about brides and storms. Every time I go to do a bridal session, a thunderstorm rolls in. So far, I haven't had any soaked wedding dresses, and the lighting has been perfect.

$175.00

#4 - Pocket Aces

Model: Drew Payne

I really wanted to call this photo "Pocket Surprise," but I wasn't sure how that would go over in a public setting! The surprise - Drew proposed to his now wife Lily the day of this photo! The whole photoshoot was a ruse so that he could surprise her and it worked like a charm!

#5 - Shake It Off

Model: Laura Aldaco

When I took this photo, I thought I hadn't gotten what I was looking for. Turns out the small screen on the back of the camera just didn't do it justice. This experience taught me that the back of the camera is not the end of the road, and lots of images might have hidden unseen potential.

#6 - Gun Show

Model: Jacob Prickett

I love to experiment with color! This photo was taken at Jacob's gym using an off camera flash with a color filter. I really like the gradient effect it created and the dramatic lighting does an excellent job of showing detail.

$150

#7 - Two Packs

Model: Alex Puckett

I called this one two packs because during this two hour shoot, it felt like that's how many cigarettes Alex smoked. I'm not sure that lung cancer is worth it even for art, but I appreciate his dedication all the same.

$150

#8 - Gold in the Buckle

Model: Justin Whitehurst

This is from Justin's very first shoot, and it's one of my very favorite photos. Justin is an actual cowboy - he ropes calves in the rodeo. The name of this one is an allusion to a Garth Brooke's song, "Rodeo."

$150

#9 - Surprise Me

Model: Lily Birchfiled Payne

She didn't know it when I took this picture, but the whole photoshoot was set up by her now husband to make sure that they had some great photos of his proposal! I was so nervous all day that I was going to ruin the surprise, but it turned out great!

#10 - Pensive

Model: Jon Wyatt

Jon is a naturally talented model. All of his movements feel so purposeful that it makes it difficult to take a bad photo of him. I love the thoughtfulness in this photo.
